Loved the variety of bars and restaurants. It's cleaner and less crowded. I have been to Busan on two major occasions; the first was Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), and New Years 2015. Both times, I found this beach to be the better spot to hang out. The downside: the water is less clear than at Haeundae.

Out of the famous beaches in Busan, Gwangalli is definitely a treasure in the hustle and bustle of summer. I would highly recommend spending a few hours here, maybe on the beach or in one of their many food joints. Gwangalli Beach has a very chill and local feel to it.

This beach is nice and much quieter than Haeundae beach. There are many good food places to choose from, and a craft beer brewery within walking distance. A great place during the day, but also a nice spot to sit at night and enjoy the bridge.

Perhaps the best place to be in Busan. I came deep into winter, so there were not many people here. The scenery is amazing, especially at sunset. I advice chilling at one of the cafes overlooking the beach.

We went to the beach because of the Diamond Bridge. In the night you can really see much but the view is nice and was very windy.
Along through beach there are cafe where you can just go in to get a cup of hot coffee or you may chose to sit outside the cafe to enjoy your drink.

I wouldnt rate it as a must-go place to visit for a trip in Busan, the reason to swing by is to either spend a tea time with friends and family as there are many cafes opposite the beach, or if you are a people watching person here would also be a good place to sit back and relax.
